You may have sinusitis if you’re experiencing a severe cold that won’t go away after a few weeks.

Sinusitis is a common condition which involves inflammation and congestion of the mucous membranes in the sinuses. It often occurs due to a viral infection and can cause various symptoms, including nasal congestion, facial pressure, headache, and fatigue.

Sinusitis that recurs annually or affects you for extended periods is known as acute or chronic sinusitis.

People tend to mistake sinusitis with a cold or flu since the symptoms of these illnesses usually precede the signs of sinusitis after an upper respiratory tract infection.

Sinusitis can easily be mistaken for a cold or the flu but can cause significant discomfort if not treated properly.

People who suffer from sinusitis may experience:

• An elevated temperature
  
  
• Headaches
  
  
• Loss of your sense of smell
  
  
• Toothache
  
  
• Bad breath
  
  
• A blocked nose

In children, these symptoms can be particularly severe and cause a loss of appetite, irritability and a nasally-sounding voice.

For sinusitis that is more serious or that persists longer than a few weeks, our doctors may suggest medications such as antibiotics or steroid sprays. Inflammation can be reduced and the infection can be cleared up more quickly with their treatments.

If you suspect sinusitis, speaking with a doctor as soon as possible is important. It is possible for complications to worsen if treatment is delayed.

With our doctors, you can talk about your symptoms, get a diagnosis and receive the medication required to start feeling better if needed.

Sinusitis is an ailment that causes swelling in the lining of the sinuses and is quite common. A viral infection usually causes it and typically resolves itself within two weeks.

If you experience recurrent sinusitis, lasting for an extended period, usually around the same time every year, you may have either acute or chronic sinusitis (or rhinitis). In this case, it is best to speak with a doctor to get an accurate diagnosis.

The common cold, influenza, a dental infection, and sometimes a fungal infection can all lead to sinusitis.
